Practical Tips, Emergency Service
A- Filler bottle
B- Filler hoseTire sealantThe tire sealant can be used to seal small cuts,
especially in the tire tread.
Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency repair, so you can drive to the next
workshop. Even with the tire air-tight, it may be
used only for short journeys in an emergency.The tire sealant and a compressor with pressure
tester can be found in the luggage compartment.
The tire sealant comprises:
– A filler bottle
– A sticker denoting the maximum permissible
speed for the driver’s field of vision
– A filler hose
– A valve turner and
– A spare valve insert.
Danger!
Risk of accident, resulting in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
fUse the tire sealant only in the case of cuts or
punctures no larger than 0.15 in. (4 mm).
fNever use the tire sealant if the rim is dam-aged.
Warning!
The sealant is highly flammable and harmful
to health.
fFire, naked flame and smoking are prohibited
when handling tire sealant.
fAvoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing due to
caustic chemical properties of the tire sealant.
fKeep tire sealant away from children.
fDo not inhale vapors, due to consequent harm
to personal health resulting in serious personal injury or death.
In case of contact with the sealant:
fIf sealant gets on the skin or in the eyes,
thoroughly rinse the affected part of the body
off immediately.
fChange soiled clothing immediately.
fGet medical attention immediately in the event
of an allergic reaction.
fIf sealant was swallowed, thoroughly rinse out
the mouth without delay and drink plenty of
water.
Do not induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.

Replacing fuses In order to prevent damage to the electrical sys-
tem due to short circuits and overloads, the indi-
vidual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse box is located in the driver’s footwell.
A - Plastic gripper
B - Spare fuses 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull off plastic cover at the finger hole (arrow).
The fuse plan and instructions for
emergency unlocking of the luggage
compartment lid can be found on the inner
side of the cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot
using the plastic gripper A in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be identified by the melted
metal strip.4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.
We recommend using genuine Porsche fuses
for replacement.
Note
fIf a fuse blows repeatedly consult an author-
ized Porsche dealer.
fNever try to “repair” fuses: you may cause se-
rious damage to other parts of the electrical
system.
